| Blackboard |
 |
 |
NYU Blackboard allows faculty to create websites that supplement their courses by facilitating communication and providing easy access to digital content. Instead of printing, faculty can go green by posting documents such as their syllabus, weekly readings, and images, as well as links to external websites and streaming multimedia files. NYU Blackboard also has tools for interactive assessment, quizzing, grading, and more. | |
| BobCat |
 |
|
Use BobCat to search for library materials (books, journals, videos, e-books, e-journals, course reserves, etc.) in NYU libraries and special collections, as well as materials at the New School, Cooper Union, New-York Historical Society, Brooklyn Historical Society and New York Institute of Interior Design. Log in to BobCat to write reviews, tag items, and save items to your e-shelf. | |

| Diigo |
 |
Diigo is a social bookmarking website that enables users to bookmark and tag web pages, as well as to highlight portions and add "sticky notes" or annotations, which may be kept private, shared with a particular group, or made public. It enables personal and group research of web content. | ||
| Endnote & Endnote Web |
 |
|
EndNote is a software tool for storing, organizing, and annotating your research references. It is available for both PC and Mac and installed on your local computer. NYU has a university-wide license to the software, which you can download at no charge. Many databases allow you to directly export references into EndNote and you can organize your references into various “libraries.” As you write papers, EndNote automatically formats in-text references/endnotes/footnotes and bibliographies according to your selected style (APA, MLA, and hundreds more). NYU also has a university-wide license to EndNoteWeb, which is a web-based counterpart to EndNote. EndNoteWeb has most of the same functionality as EndNote and references can easily be copied back and forth between the two programs. | |
| FriendFeed |
 |
FriendFeed is a tool that brings together, in one location, any updates that have been made to sites that you select to watch or share, by consolidating these sites' RSS or Atom feeds (two standardized web formats that are used to publish frequently updated information). You can syndicate feeds from social media and social networking websites (Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Last.fm), social bookmarking websites (Delicious, Citeulike), blogs and micro-blogging updates (Tumblr, Twitter), and any other content published with an RSS/Atom content feed. FriendFeed also has social networking functionality. It allows you to create public or private shared interest "rooms" that have commenting features, and can be used to create and share your own customized feeds with others. | ||
| Google Scholar |
 |
Google Scholar is a search engine for finding scholarly literature – such as peer reviewed articles, papers, thesis and books – across a variety of disciplines. You can set your Google Scholar preferences to indicate when NYU has a subscription to a source and be directed to its full text. You can also push Google Scholar citations to RefWorks and EndNote reference management programs. | ||
| iGoogle |
 |
iGoogle lets you create a personalized homepage that contains a Google search box at the top, and your choice of any number of gadgets. iGoogle gadgets include Gmail and Google Docs, web searching (Google, youtube, maps), RSS feed aggregators, reference and translation tools, and applications that allow easy instant messaging, SMS, blogging, and microblogging. | ||
| Meeting Maker |
 |
|
Meeting Maker is a collaborative calendar and group scheduling software package available to NYU faculty, staff, and administration. Meeting Maker makes it easy to schedule meetings, invite attendees, plan activities, keep a prioritized to-do list, and coordinate one's calendar with other NYU faculty and staff members who use Meeting Maker. It can even be used to reserve essential meeting resources such as conference rooms and A/V equipment. Apply for a Meeting Maker account by sending an email to: meetingmaker.request@nyu.edu | |
| RefWorks |
 |
|
RefWorks is a web-based tool for storing, organizing, annotating and sharing your research references. NYU Libraries has a subscription to RefWorks on behalf of the entire NYU community. Many catalogs (including BobCat, NYU Libraries’ catalog) and databases allow you to directly export references into RefWorks. You can organize your references into folders and share folders with others. As you write papers, RefWorks automatically formats in-text references/endnotes/footnotes and bibliographies according to your selected style (APA, MLA, and hundreds more). |
